What is Acupuncture?
Contemporary medical acupuncture is used to support the body’s natural self-healing process by stimulating specific points with sterile needles. It’s often used for pain relief, muscle and joint issues, headaches, and stress-related symptoms.
Dr. Jillian offers acupuncture as part of an integrative approach to care — helping patients not only feel better physically, but feel more regulated and resilient overall.
A newer focus in the clinic is sleep support. If you feel tired but wired, wake frequently, or struggle to fully shut off at night, acupuncture can be a gentle option to support relaxation and nervous system balance.
Your appointment is calm, private, and tailored to what you’re experiencing. Many patients find it deeply relaxing.

Kind WordsFROM HAPPY CLIENTS
★★★★★
My family has been coming here for about 5 years. It’s like Groundhog Day if you catch my drift, for the fact that it’s consistently great each and every time. This office doesn’t just “crack backs” — they reset everything from your spine to your day. Dr. Jill is fantastic with my youngest (7), who has autism and some sensory discomfort when being pressed upon) and her patience and care make every visit a positive experience. Friendly, skilled hands, and genuine care keep us coming back.
